Verified Construction Activity Data for Insurance Teams
Gryd gives you direct access to permit, property, and contractor records — with new data added daily to give you insight into what's changing, when, and who performed the work.
Stop searching public records one by one.
Public construction records are scattered across thousands of local systems, each with its own format and update schedule. Gryd pulls them into one database with granular search filters — so you're able to focus on specific documented activity, not outdated lists or manual lookups.
